He said that such a review would equip the students with the basic critical thinking skills that would them make sense of the world around them.
“This proposal will adequately equip and empower students with knowledge, discipline and independence with potential to become great leaders in Nigeria tomorrow,” he said.
Mark told the graduates that their journeys into adulthood had just begun, adding, “you will have to work exceedingly hard to be successful in your future career.’’
